It is very unfortunate our provincial government is taking overreaching steps to remove bike infrastructure and promoting car ownership and use. Commuting by bicycle is environmentally friendly, does not damage infrastructure, and does not cause congestion.

I am writing to express my concern with Bill 212. As someone who drives downtown to work daily, bike lanes have never been a source of traffic or grid lock. In fact, much more traffic and slow downs are created when there are no bike lanes, and cars must trail behind cyclists sharing the same road.

The worst place to put bike lanes is on major roads like Bloor University and Yonge st. where they reduce vehicular traffic to one lane resulting in vehicular traffic backed up in stop and go traffic while bicycles are few to be seen.

As someone who uses this bike lane, and bike lanes across the city as a safe and environmentally conscious way of getting around, I strongly urge and beg you not to go through with this. The bloor bike lane allows for safe biking and efficiency when getting around the city.

There is no reason for the province to get involved in municipal manners. It is up to the city to ensure adequate city design, and the removal of bike lanes is a massive waste of money. There are much more important things that this money could be spent on, like healthcare and education.

Removing bike lanes in Toronto is not just removal of crucial infrastructure but also will impact the lives of many. Bike lanes help control the flow of bicycle traffic on sidewalks, prevent incidents with pedestrians and allow cyclists to commute in a timely manner. This is a poor decision.
Literally why?? What do you have against clean air and walkable communities? Keep Toronto accessible for Torontonians. We pride ourselves on having a city with such an extensive array of methods to get around. Why are we stripping that away? This government does not seem to actually be listening.
I am a 63 y/o woman living in downtown Toronto. I use my bicycle every day. Bike lanes are an essential part of the system of transit I use to get around the city. I use Spadina(where I’d like a dedicated bike lane) to get down to Richmond.

don't destroy bike lanes!! getting rid of bike lanes is just going to make single lane roads .... still single lanes. putting bikers closer to cars is going to be extremely dangerous!!
This proposal is moving Canada’s transportation in the wrong direction. We should be promoting more bike usage to reduce traffic and help the environment. Getting cars off of the road should be a priority for the government.

I use bike lanes every, it keeps me safe from cars. If I am traveling less than 10kms from my house I use my scooter and bike lanes to get around and it has saved me money, improved my health, and made me closer to my community. I ride more than 2000kms a year on my scooter.

Government policy should be based on evidence. To date, no evidence has been provided, referenced, or published which supports the Ontario Government’s assertion that bike lanes are the cause of traffic congestion.

A simple reminder that Doug Ford is not the Mayor of Toronto.
We overwhelmingly decided that he and his corrupt ways were not the direction that Toronto wanted to go. We didn’t vote for him to be our Mayor, and we (as a city) didn’t vote for him to be our Premier.

Bill 212 is a gross violation of local democracy.
I live, pay taxes, drive, walk, shop, and cycle in Toronto.
Bike lanes have improved our neighbourhoods considerably, with support from local businesses and residents alike.

Saving Us Time ?
In 1980 I used a moped as the fastest way to get around Toronto - @ 45 kmh it was mostly faster than subway or driving from 401 to the waterfont - gridlock was a big factor WITHOUT any bicycle lanes almost 45 years ago.
